Fired RI teachers to vote on deal to rehire them

FILE - This March 3, 2010 file photo shows Central Falls High School in Central Falls, R.I., where the superintendent announced in February 2010 that all the teachers would be fired at the end of the school year. Central Falls' school board voted last month to fire Central Falls High School's faculty in a desperate move to improve student performance. The school announced on Sunday it had reached an agreement with the union to return all the current staffers to their jobs. The two sides said a so-called transformation plan for Central Falls High School for the coming school year would allow the 87 teachers, guidance counselors, librarians and other staffers who were to lose their jobs at the end of this year to return without having to reapply.
